Course Overview

Students will learn relationship between structure and physicochemical properties of materials. This course provides a conceptual framework for understanding the basic theory and physicochemical behavior of fundamental and modern engineering materials. It also attempts to present a general picture of material nature and mechanism that act upon, analyze, modify, and control their properties.

Learning Achievement

1. Explain types of atomic bonding/structure and relate to properties of engineering materials 2. Analyze characterization methods of structures/properties of engineering materials to investigate material performance. 3. Choose information on structures/properties of engineering materials, evaluate, and recommend materials for given application.
